My upper and mid back are always terribly knotted, largely as the result of a long-term shoulder injury. My muscles are always so tense, that even taking a deep breath results in those whiney crackling noises that come from a big stretch.
My question to you, are there any sort of basic massage/knot-removing techniques or motions that could be easily and safely performed by a non-licensed therapist? I can't find the time to go to the chiropractor anymore yet alone an MT, but I can find a few minutes here or there for the girlfriend to knead something out.
